Why would this spider plantsā leaves be folding? Does it need to be repotted? Itās been happy until now š¤·āāļø. It is in a pretty small container. My other spiders are very happy in their slightly larger pots. Thanks in advance!!
Probably repot

Hello. I am not telling you to not get the Groot planter. I am letting you know they can be smaller than you think. I have 3 Grootās also and either the plants out grow the pots quickly or they die quickly. I have not found a third option. First I tried African Violets. Only 1 out of 6 liked the pot. Next I tried Pathos. Quickly it out grew the pot. Iāve tried succulents, like an echeveria, but they are difficult as it is in Philadelphia. Believe it or not red dragon branches seem to be ok with the pots for me. John
0 Likes Out of three Grootās this is my I Dream of Groot pot. Itās good for collecting a beads i come home with some nights.
Yeah Iād check the roots. My mother got have outgrown the pot. Which is too bad because itās super cute š„°. Maybe try to separate it so you can still keep a piece in the planter.

Folded leaves indicate a drying plant and/or low humidity. Itās probably pot bound which is typical for thick root spider plants. Itās time to repot since itās affecting the plantās ability to intake water. The other option is to water more often to meet the needs of the plant. Iām at this stage with several of my spider plants. I donāt wonāt to keep repotting. I water them more frequently so the leaf tips donāt dry out.
Thank you so much for the info!

1 Like Thank you. These are both Bonnie curly spider plants. I like the sizes since they fit on the kitchen window. Itās convenient because I have to water about every 4 days. The soil is practically useless. I have to fertilize with Miracle Gro blue fertilizer. I add very diluted SuperThrive plant vitamins once a month. This seems to help them keep their color. The little one is in a 2 inch pot. It put out 2 tiny spider babies!
